How to turn project status into a standup checklist with Attention Span

Use the Rundown style to get a TL;DR and status checklist you can scan for standups and updates.

Who it is forA team member or lead who must give status updates or run standups and needs a clear view of where work stands.

The problemA plain paragraph status is hard to scan, and it is easy to miss which items are done, blocked or not started.

The outcomeClaude opens with a TL;DR and shows state as a checklist with status markers and numbered next choices, so the update is quick to read.

What you need first

  • Claude Code installed and working
  • A terminal to run the install commands
  • Internet access to GitHub for the plugin or the curl download

Steps

  1. Install the plugin with /plugin marketplace add alexgreensh/attention-span and /plugin install attention-span
  2. Type /rundown in Claude Code, or set Rundown as the Output style under /config
  3. Give Claude the facts for your status, such as counts and what is blocked
  4. Check that the reply does not state any status you did not supply

Prompt for your agent

Using the repo alexgreensh/attention-span, install the attention-span plugin in Claude Code and use the Rundown style with /rundown. Then give Claude this status: <your status facts>. Expected output: a TL;DR line, a checklist with status markers, and numbered next steps. Verify that every status in the checklist comes from the facts you gave.

Caveat. Rundown favors readability over brevity, so its replies run longer than the other two styles.
